Two Pass RO/DI System

Location: International

A major supplier of fuel cell power plants required an efficient, turnkey water purification system to produce water needed in the reforming process. Using our 3D modeling programs, a single skid system was designed for small footprint and minimal maintenance. Continuous electro-deionization eliminated the need for exchange mixed bed DI tanks. Standard Carbon and Water Softener pretreatment was replaced by Antichlor chemical and Antiscalant injection. This two pass reverse osmosis system produces ASTM Type 2 water at a rate of 6 gallon per minute for reliable 24/7 operation for a wide range of incoming Water Quality.
